Living with chronic pain can have a serious impact on your life, making everyday tasks feel overwhelming, like being unable to travel because prolonged sitting kills your back or missing workdays due to chronic tension headaches. At Kineticut Myofascial Release, I use a form of bodywork based primarily on the John Barnes Myofascial Release Approach (MFR) to find and treat the root causes of your pain by targeting areas where the soft tissues feel “stuck” and may be producing symptoms in far removed areas.

This gentle neuromuscular approach is especially helpful when therapeutic exercise has only produced temporary or incomplete results. While exercise is most certainly important and necessary to regain full motion, if the underlying myofascial pain is not addressed, the risk of further nerve irritation will remain. Whether you have a new injury, chronic pain, or want to boost your athletic performance, MFR can be helpful, even if medical professionals have said your pain is “all in your head”. Following your individualized program can lead to lasting results.

I look at your whole body and past experiences to understand what may have caused your current issues, assess your treatment goals, and modify the treatments as we progress. We will use shared decision making to guide our treatments in partnership.
